Britain’s statistics quango faces an official investigation over a faulty census question which appears to have drastically overestimated the number of trans people in the country.
A campaign group has written to a watchdog to demand it take regulatory action in order to secure public confidence in national statistics.
They said action was required to ensure the faulty question is not replicated in future years.
It comes after the 2021 census in England and Wales reported there were 262,000 trans people, equivalent to 0.5 per cent of the population.
